Norway is in the process of redesigning it’s paper money in order to improve security. The new banknotes are scheduled to go into circulation in 2017. The theme of the money is “The Sea”. On the front of the bills there is a normal picture but on the back, the image is pixelated. The notes range in value from 50 Kroner to 1000 Kroner and the higher the value the more the pixelation. This represents increasing wind states on the Beaufort Scale. The 50 Kr note features a stylized lighthouse as pictured below. More information and images can be found here.
